Cathy and Paula Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 We turned on our furnace to check it out before buying our 5th wheel and the air flow is very low compared to our dutchstar. Does anyone else that has purchased a Lifestyle have very low air flow from the furnace?

remoandiris Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 One speed fan or 2 speed? I haven't used my furnace in a long time. I do remember it warming up nicely and not blowing the doors off the coach. Once you get to a cool area, run the furnace and determine how effective the low air flow is. It may surprise you. Or, there may be an issue with the furnace. BTW, the furnace probably has it's own warranty from the furnace manufacturer, just like the air con.

Cathy and Paula Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 It is only a one speed fan.

travelinbob Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 You might want to check to see if maybe one of the duct pieces came loose from the furnace ????? 2006 Elite Suite 36TK32001 F-550 Starhaulerwww.mytripjournal.com/elitesuitestravelsIN GOD WE TRUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Does the RV have more heat registers than your Dutchstar or perhaps longer distances to them? Did you check all registers as it may be that one is putting out more than it's share since balancing of head distribution is typically not considered in RV design? If ducts are crushed or have openings somewhere, that too will impact the amount of air movement at the registers. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Fulltimer51 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 What Travelinbob and Kirk said. I have also felt the air flow could be better. I have replaced some of the floor vents with the type that can be closed to keep the heat out of the bedroom and the area right next to the thermostat. Helps to increase the airflow to the living area. The longest run is to the living area.
